When you wake up - sometime next week, I have a question.

I watched you as you set up your camera at Leeds prior to the Columbia fly-over. You first set the f-stop dile to f2.8. Then you audibly made the remark something like "I will go up one stop to reduce flairing". Subsequently you set f-stop up one notch.

I set my camera to f2.8 and I don't know what Marty's was set at that you posted at http://planet.state.ut.us . When I blow my picture up of the flair-out I see a bright light start from the left side of the contrail, immideatly cross over to the right side and continue there in a stright line for a bit then blend back into the main contrail. My question is do you think that this was an artifact of my f2.8 f-stop that you avoided?
